Battery experts Yuasa are celebrating after Jedi motor racing ace Bradley Hobday clinched third place in the BRSCC Formula Jedi Championship in his first ever year of circuit racing. Hobday, who is backed by the battery manufacturer, scored a race win along with six podium finishes to take the spot leaving other more experienced drivers in his wake.


The 28-year-old only made the transition to single seater racing in March having dominated sprint racing in recent years. He contested the championship driving his 1000cc Jedi car carrying Yuasa’s iconic red, white and black motorsport livery. 

Bradley commented, “It has been absolutely amazing having Yuasa behind me all year. Lots of people always stop and comment on how great the car looks, it is always the first Jedi they go to. I even had my own Yuasa fan club all weekend at Silverstone.

James Douglas, Marketing Executive at Yuasa Battery said, “We are so pleased for Bradley and delighted by what he has achieved this year. Bradley’s exceptional performances make him an exciting driver to watch and have ensured that he is always right up at the front of the field amongst the action. He’s got lots of attention everywhere he’s raced both from the media and the fans. We are proud that he has carried our branding and he’s enjoyed strong positive media coverage throughout the year.”
